About this study

Official title: Assessment of Coronary Flow Reserve and CT Angiography By Hybrid PET/CT: Relation to Clinically Indicated SPECT Studies

There have been many advances in the test used to look for heart disease. An example of this newer technology is the Multislice CT scan (MSCT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans.

The use of this type of combined scan may show early coronary artery disease or the degree of damaged heart muscle form a heart attack with a single exam. It may help doctors to know who might benefit from heart surgery or angioplasty to increase the blood flow to the heart. This type of detailed images has previously been available only through cardiac catheterization.

Read the detailed description

Advances in Non-invasive Multislice CT Imaging: Multislice CT (MSCT) and PET imaging are becoming more widely available and more useful in cardiac assessment. MSCT provides quantification of coronary calcium as well as information about the structures of the coronary vessel walls and atherosclerotic plaques. Multiple studies have demonstrated that MSCT provides information on coronary artery stenosis comparable to that obtained from invasive coronary angiography. PET imaging provides functional data via the measurement of coronary flow reserve (CFR). CFR is a quantitative measure of the increase in coronary blood flow in response to vasodilation; normal coronary flow is able to augment by three- to four-fold; diseased coronary arteries show less ability to increase flow, i.e. less CFR. Assessment of CFR yields functional information about the significance of coronary disease and is often used clinically in conjunction with anatomic imaging to identify early atherosclerosis. There is no current data evaluating the incremental value of hybrid PET/CT assessment of CFR and coronary anatomy in relation to SPECT studies in the clinical setting.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Incremental Value of Adenosine Flow Reserve by Rubidium PET to Clinically Acquired Gated Studies.

    All data were acquired in list-mode for 8 minutes and retrospectively sorted into static, ECG gated and dynamic images. Rubidium retention was calculated by dividing the late (3-8 minute) whole myocardium region-of-interest data by the integral of the input function over the first minute. Adenosine flow reserve was estimated by dividing rubidium retention during adenosine vasodilation by the same measure at rest. These quantitative flow and flow reserve values were compared to clinically acquired gated studies in the 30 participants.

    Measured: 3-8 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hybrid PET/CT in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Incremental Value of Adenosine Flow Reserve by Rubidium PET to Clinically Acquired Gated Studies. (time frame: 3-8 minute). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2021.
